SITTING ON A .64-acre parcel of landscaped gardens, this traditional cottage has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its character and charm. Located in an elevated, yet sheltered, setting, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the picturesque Rossdohan Pier and offers breathtaking views of Kenmare Bay, as well as of the Iveragh and Beara Peninsulas.
Now on the market for €550,000, the house is 6.5 km from Sneem and 23 km from the bustling Kenmare.
With a total floor area of about 87 m², this cottage is both cosy and practical. The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hall that has lots of useful storage space. The living room features a concrete floor, exposed timber beams and a wood-burning stove that instantly creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
An adjacent sitting room and dining area, with exposed timber beams and an open fireplace, provide another perfect setting for gatherings.
The galley-style kitchen is filled with integrated appliances and is also home to a dining area at one end.
A spacious bathroom, complete with a shower, can also be found on the ground floor and is bound to be useful for the ground floor bedroom. This bedroom opens to its own private patio.
On the first floor, you’ll find a bright and spacious double bedroom that’s painted an inviting pink. Another bathroom, again with a shower, adds practicality to the layout. The first floor also has a deck area that has super views of Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountain range.
Sympathetically restored, the cottage’s traditional roots weren’t forgotten. This is clear from the charming features throughout, from the wood-burning stove to the traditional plasterwork both inside and out.
Outside, a gravel driveway leads to an area with ample parking. The expansive lawns are filled with a beautiful array of trees, shrubs, and flowers, for a pretty garden setting. Paved areas surround the house, providing plenty of spaces for relaxing in the fresh air, too.
Additional features include a renovated stone outbuilding, which has been repurposed as a home office with a full bathroom. A Juliana glass house, cleverly outfitted as a bar and dining area, offers a unique space for entertaining. For barbecue fans, a covered grilling area is ready for hosting from. Two garden sheds provide even more options for storage, too.
Whether the next owner uses it as a full-time home or a delightful holiday retreat, this cottage offers a blend of tranquillity and activity. Sailing, golf and various other outdoor activities are right at its doorstep, making it an ideal haven for nature lovers as well as anyone looking to relax.
